    As "the one from Texas" let me just give some context. If you're North/West of the Edwards Plateau, there if little to no humidity. And that lack of humidity makes all the difference. As long as you keep a hat on or stand in the shade, you can easily tolerate 90 degree weather and be just fine, especially when its breezy or windy. However, once the humidity goes up by at least 10% we all immediately start boiling alive and drowning in the air.

    As someone who has worked in a factory with a Hot Melt extruder running in the summer in Corinth, Mississippi...those Warehouse guys are correct, the lack of breeze is a problem...
    Of course, having a giant chunk of metal being actively heated to several hundred degrees in an enclosed space with no breeze is worse.

    But I paid my due with the warehouse worker on my way to where I am now. I don’t ever want to do that again; yet, I’m humbled with gratitude for those that still do. Making sure your family is taken care of, they may never know the suffering you deal with.

Everything from the carbon dioxide we breathe out, to our skin microbes, skin temperature, emission of ammonia from our bodies, and other odors we emit. When combined, some of us smell like a feast to mosquitoes. Also, certain mosquitoes are attracted more to humans and others more to animals.

      I welcome the storms. It's the only chance at cool air that we have. What I hate is where it's a big splat of rain and then the sun comes back to evaporate it all and it gets even more humid. But a high storm bringing the colder air down from the upper levels followed by a long drenching rain that cools everything off and lasts until the sun is low...that's a nice summer storm.
